BioWare Wants To Avoid Only Having A Single Canon In Dragon Age: The Veilguard
Almost everyone's experience in the Dragon Age games varies depending upon the choices they make while playing them. And according to BioWare, the team behind Dragon Age: The Veilguard wants to honor the choices made by players in the previous titles by not being tied down to only one official continuity.
Creative director Jon Epler told GamesRadar that as far as BioWare is concerned, the studio wants to "avoid the idea of there being a single canon" in the Dragon Age games. He added, that "if we don't feel we can do something respectful of the choice you made we oftentimes just don't necessarily reference it... We never want you to feel like your world state is being invalidated."
Since The Veilguard takes place roughly a decade after Dragon Age: Inquisition, one of the ways that BioWare addressed the issue was by setting the sequel in a different part of Thedas.
